Subaru Challenge 2009 has got a winner! A 40-year-old Singaporean has won the MediaCorp Subaru Impreza WRX Challenge after four days of intense competition.

After 72 hours of braving the elements, it was down to 3 Singaporeans and one Thai – Yeo Shu Qing who turned 25 on Tuesday, 23-year-old Santozkumar Poonsolai, 40-year-old Mohd Anuar, and Thai contestant Samach Tepsen.

“First thing I need to do is go to the toilet because I don’t feel good! And then take a nap,” said Mohd Anuar, winner of this year’s MediaCorp Subaru Impreza WRX Challenge.
